ID: I17139
Name: John Garrett
Sex: M
Birth: 1724 in VA
Note:
Genforum.genealogy.com website:
My ancestor Jacob Garrett was in Prince Edward Co, VA in 1770s and moved to Jefferson Co, TN where he died in 1790 (1796?). He lived in an area of Prince Edward Co, VA that was previously in Amelia Co, VA that is "on the banks of the Appomattox River".
His neighbors were John Garrett, Obediah Woodson, Benjamin Johns and John Arnold. Some of his property was sold eventually to a John Finley. Jacob had sons named Henry and John, who lived in Williamson Co, TN.
Some researchers think this Jacob is a son of William and Sarah Burton Garrett. I haven't been able to support this but it does fit.

The following book excerpt is shown to reference a John Garrett of Amelia County, born in 1724 in Virginia. (Relation unknown, but assumed to be the John Garrett, listed at the above referenced website, and very likely a brother of Jacob Garrett.)

Note: The above was taken from a listing of 88 soldiers in the subject militia. The first part of the listing (numbers 1 thru 38) showed enlistment dates from Jan 1754 thru Dec 1756, followed by the soldier's home county (or town); the second part of the listing (numbers 39 thru 88) showed the word "draft" under enlistment, followed by the soldier's home county (or town). The information under the heading "Country" is assumed to mean "where born".
